These guys ride mechanical horses, called Blackhoofs, in to battle, however I didn't actually want them to be black owing to the faction being called the Golden Army. Although initially a struggled to like these figures, the final family photo isn't all that bad, even if I do say so myself.
I don't get to play this game much due to a real slump in interest locally, but I still love the theme to the figures, a sort of twisted wild west /steam punk feel, but still having enough variety to get character in to the armies.
Well here we go, some individual photos of the four models making the force, I hope you like them.
The quantity of metallic shades was a struggle to paint, but once I got my drybrush out, and I relaxed a bit, I sailed through them. The bases were kept very simple as they will be playing pieces first and foremost, and I wanted them to fit the wild west theme in my head and the gaming board.
Take care, and I'll see you soon with another dive in to my array of unfinished starter sets haha!
Scoring -
4x mounted 32mm (counting them as 28mm) = 40pts
Those mechanical horses look fab and fun - great painting on them and their riders! 40 points coming your way!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteA very interesting entry and very well painted.
ReplyDeleteThey were certainly odd to paint haha. Thank you.
DeleteGreat looking mechanical horses and riders, especially the matriarch!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you Iain, much appreciated.
DeleteWow - very different! Well done, pretty cool figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg, they were a change for me as I try to avoid too much metal on a figure haha.
DeleteVery, very cool looking miniatures with terrific paintjobs - wow. I really like that abbess, she'd be a great addition to a Sisters of Battle collection. Hmmm. (strokes chin...)
ReplyDeleteOoh now that's a blinding idea! Especially with the new stuff from GW. Thank you
DeleteI really like these unusual figures, awesome paintjob and colour scheme. The bases are also very tasteful. Excellent entry all around!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, that means a lot.
DeleteGreat work
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave.
DeleteHmm... now these figures don’t really float my boat but the paint job is very nice! Your take on metallics is superb.
ReplyDeleteKnowing they're not your ticket means that the compliment is all the sweeter, thank you. Whilst painting them I was unsure how I felt about the metallics, but I am glad it has worked out.
DeleteInteresting figures and a great paintjob.
ReplyDeleteThank you Stuart
DeleteGreat work on these but they are a little weird.
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed weird, and the range they come from only gets weirder. Thank you though.
DeleteLike what you sis with these
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul
DeleteAwesome looking figures and paint jobs! There are not that many wild west exodus figures that I really like, but these are really great, both the figure and the painting.
ReplyDeleteThank you Byron, and I know what you mean about some of the Wild West Exodus range being a little... nuanced in taste haha. But I'm glad you like these, thank you.
DeleteImpressive steeds!
